Write a sequel for the 1997 film Face/Off starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage (100 words).
A rogue AI who just comes in and insults everyone is way more interesting.
If you guys want "insulting", I'm happy to accommodate!Probably an improvement to be honest, the worst part of AI is how obsequious it is. A rogue AI who just comes in and insults everyone is way more interesting.
Cleary would be a world class 10 if he had spent most of the past years playing rugby instead of league. The physical gifts, intangibles, and work ethic are certainly there.I hate most mungos and think their skill levels are over-pumped up by a compliant NRL press, however I do think ol' granite chin would be handy at flyhalf. I think he would have the leadership to run the show - but he'd have to learn a significant amount of rugby smarts to play conductor.
Any if you were him - he'd have to consider playing on the big stage as part of a massive game vs status quo being a big fish in a very little pond at Penrith.
Footballers love playing on the big stage. Yes origin is massive but so is being part of a Lions tour or world cup - or a game at Paris or Twickenham. It would have to tweak some interest..
League has become a far more risk adverse game these days imo, particularly now that the short goal line drop out has become popular, you don't see off loads nearly as often, as any team is now in a position to score from fifty metres out, so any mistake can be ridiculously costly. The game is literally based around which team will make a mistake first.Cleary would be a world class 10 if he had spent most of the past years playing rugby instead of league.

But my gut feeling is that the subconscious "feel" you develop the manage the game as a league half will be a challenge to unlearn. There's a greater appetite for risk in league because the tackle count always ensures the pill will change possession and come back to you eventually.
There's not an equivalent scenario in league where you could be utterly starved of pill in rugby if your forwards are being overrun the entire game (something that's a very realistic scenario for the Wallabies).
If you could afford to give him 12 months to purely figure it out with no judgement I genuinely think he'd be Owen Farrell by year 2.I hate most mungos and think their skill levels are over-pumped up by a compliant NRL press, however I do think ol' granite chin would be handy at flyhalf.

Bit of fun between floggings.If you could afford to give him 12 months to purely figure it out with no judgement I genuinely think he'd be Owen Farrell by year 2.
I think we overplay how much these guys or outside Rugby give a shit about the Lions tour. A Bled might drive some interest but SOO is huge in our landscape.
It's a silly argument really. Why would he leave when he's probably earning up to 2m now with all the endorsements and benefits or crap like cars on top of his contract. There's no guarantee Adidas would continue to support him in Rugby to the same degree with bugger all popularity in Aus. 'Global game' sure but Adidas are more likely to put this money in Soccer players who dwarf anything Rugby has in Europe.
This chat will never end and we'll talk about the next start the NRL have as well.
